1
00:00:00,901 --> 00:00:04,167
150,000 spendolas.
That buy your help?
2
00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:07,902
Well, I... I guess I could
look into it for a day or two.
3
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:13,907
I'm declaring war.
4
00:00:13,981 --> 00:00:15,643
Nobody has that kind of clout.
5
00:00:15,716 --> 00:00:17,207
Ruth Beetson-White does.
6
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:19,185
The used-car queen?
7
00:00:19,253 --> 00:00:21,279
You got to be crazy.
What are you talking about?
8
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:22,983
Me, kill somebody?
9
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:24,422
Oh, good old Right On Ruth.
10
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:25,891
Where's Morry? He
went to the gym...
11
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:29,260
All right, look, I don't have time to
explain, but Morry is in deep trouble.
12
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,147
ROCKFORD ON ANSWERING
MACHINE: This is Jim Rockford.
13
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:39,682
At the tone, leave your
name and message.
14
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:40,706
I'll get back to you.
15
00:00:41,842 --> 00:00:43,620
Jim, you give Peg the
$200 for the painting.
16
00:00:43,644 --> 00:00:46,705
She owes me $70, and I owe
you $46 for the Christmas trees.
17
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:48,373
Harry's still out
$60 for the dinner,
18
00:00:48,448 --> 00:00:49,888
but at least it will
void that check.
19
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:44,347
Jackson takes two more, a
couple of solid ones to the face.
20
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:45,566
Stewart lands an upper cut.
21
00:01:45,639 --> 00:01:47,198
A left jab, another left jab.
22
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:48,970
Stewart is in
control of this fight.
23
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:51,568
A hard right to the body,
a combination by Stewart.
24
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:54,205
Jackson's hurt. There goes
his mob face. He's down!
25
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:58,784
We'll be right back after this
word from Beetson Motors.
26
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:00,184
Hi there, folks.
27
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:02,154
I hope you're
enjoying the fight.
28
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:04,123
This is Right On Ruth here.
29
00:02:04,191 --> 00:02:06,990
Yes, sir, that's
Ruth Beetson-White.
30
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,928
And, honey, if you
want satisfaction,
31
00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:12,866
well, you'd better come see me,
32
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:18,099
because I have got acres
and acres of fine used cars
33
00:02:18,171 --> 00:02:20,800
and such a sweet
group of nice young men
34
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:25,471
to help you decide which
one is just right for you.
35
00:02:25,545 --> 00:02:28,674
All right, fellas, take 'em off.
36
00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:35,652
Now, honey, if you see anything
you like here, you just let me know.
37
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:38,556
Now, here's a sexy little
number coming right up.
38
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:42,790
This little baby's got low
mileage, front disc brakes,
39
00:02:42,863 --> 00:02:46,391
automatic transmission,
tape deck...
40
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:50,130
Well, honey, in short, it's
got everything you want.
41
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,597
That's at Beetson Motors, folks.
42
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:56,610
And don't you forget,
43
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:58,475
Ruth's my name,
44
00:02:58,545 --> 00:03:00,480
satisfaction's my game.
45
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:03,812
Oh, I wish you'd come
see me sometime soon.
46
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:05,852
You won't be disappointed.
47
00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:07,819
I promise.
48
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:11,487
Next week here
at the Pico Arena,
49
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:14,323
the number-ten ranked
light heavyweight in the world,
50
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:15,862
Bobo Rydell,
51
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:17,761
meets Oscar Jones,
52
00:03:17,831 --> 00:03:21,131
that puncher from
Bakersfield, California.
53
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:22,601
Bakersfield!
54
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:25,036
Now don't miss it, fans.
It's bound to be another...
55
00:04:14,955 --> 00:04:16,651
Jesus, Jesus.
56
00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:18,524
Hey.
57
00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:20,019
How'd it go at immigration?
58
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:21,186
Not so good.
59
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:23,059
I did everything but
take a poke at the guy.
60
00:04:23,797 --> 00:04:24,924
She can't stay.
61
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:27,731
How long we got?
62
00:04:27,801 --> 00:04:28,962
Fifteen days.
63
00:04:30,871 --> 00:04:32,951
She's seventy-three
years old, Morry. It'll kill her.
64
00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:34,030
I know, I know.
65
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:36,385
Look, Jesus, I told you I wouldn't
let them take her away, huh?
66
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:37,672
That still goes.
67
00:04:37,744 --> 00:04:40,407
Now, all you have to remember
is keep the right up, huh?
68
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,210
Throw the left up,
all right? Okay?
69
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,148
All right? All right, huh? Okay.
70
00:04:44,217 --> 00:04:46,209
And leave Mama Aguilar to me.
71
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:48,114
Okay? Okay.
72
00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:50,456
Anything you say,
Morry. All right. All right.
73
00:04:50,524 --> 00:04:52,652
Hey, there's someone
in your office. Who?
74
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:53,819
Some investor.
75
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:54,953
Oh.
76
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:56,553
Here, wipe your face.
77
00:05:06,206 --> 00:05:08,801
Hey, Jim, good to see you.
78
00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:13,577
I've been, uh, meaning to
call you, but you know how it is.
79
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:17,982
All I know is Bobo Rydell is fighting
some clown from Bakersfield next week
80
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,418
and not Jesus Hernandez,
so what gives, Morry?
81
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:22,319
Well, the match is almost made.
82
00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:23,448
By this time next week...
83
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:27,016
That's what you told me last
month, and I'm getting a little sick of it.
84
00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:30,257
As a matter of fact, I'd like to
sell back my piece of Jesus.
85
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:33,823
And just for what I paid for it
like you said I could at any time.
86
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:35,960
Hey, Jim, you're in
on the ground floor.
87
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:39,006
You own 5% of the next light
heavyweight champion of the world.
88
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:40,583
Not if you can't get him
a fight with a contender.
89
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,803
You can't even get
him a fight on TV.
90
00:05:43,476 --> 00:05:46,571
Jim, uh, look, uh, you
mind if I level with you?
91
00:05:46,646 --> 00:05:49,377
Well, why not, Morry?
When all else fails.
92
00:05:49,449 --> 00:05:50,576
Okay.
93
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:54,382
Bobo Rydell's owner knows Jesus
can whip him and won't sign for the match
94
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:58,892
unless I sell her 50% of Jesus'
contract in the event Jesus wins.
95
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:00,791
So, sign him up with
another contender,
96
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,853
anything as long as
you get him a fight on TV.
97
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:04,941
No, no, no, no, you don't
understand, you don't understand.
98
00:06:04,965 --> 00:06:07,677
Rydell's owner has enough clout
with the matchmaker at the Pico Arena
99
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:10,694
to keep Jesus off the Tuesday
Night fight card altogether.
100
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:12,329
Nobody has that kind of clout.
101
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:14,033
Ruth Beetson-White does.
102
00:06:16,576 --> 00:06:19,740
The used-car queen owns Rydell?
103
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,008
Yeah.
104
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:24,213
It's hard talking against
the lady, you know.
105
00:06:24,284 --> 00:06:26,310
I mean, her sponsoring
Tuesday Night Fights
106
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,878
gave boxing in this town
the shot in the arm it needed.
107
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:31,117
She owns fighters,
too. Eight of them.
108
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:32,454
Collects them like stamps.
109
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:35,962
So you're gonna get frozen
out unless you agree to, uh,
110
00:06:36,029 --> 00:06:38,464
sell off a big hunk
of Jesus Hernandez?
111
00:06:39,165 --> 00:06:40,656
I couldn't prove it, of course.
112
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:41,997
Then I really want my money.
113
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,833
Come on, come on.
The kid's 10-0 and 0.
114
00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:46,874
I'll keep getting him the
best fights I can, huh?
115
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:49,239
Even if it means driving to
Diego every three weeks.
116
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:51,540
Once we build his record,
Ruth's got to let it happen.
117
00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:53,904
Hundreds will be fine, Morry.
118
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:57,046
Jim, I... I'm going to
level with you, hmm?
119
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,849
Which one is Morris Hawthorne?
120
00:07:02,389 --> 00:07:03,389
I am.
121
00:07:03,456 --> 00:07:04,456
Nelson, FBI.
122
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:07,358
You're under arrest for the
attempted bribery of a federal official.
123
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,055
"You have the right
to remain silent.
124
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:10,893
"If you give up the
right to remain silent,
125
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:14,128
"anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
126
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,645
"You have the right to
speak with an attorney
127
00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:17,580
"and have an attorney
present during questioning.
128
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:19,015
"If you so desire and
cannot afford one,
129
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:22,203
"an attorney will be appointed for
you without charge before questioning.
130
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:24,320
"Do you understand each of
these rights I've explained to you?
131
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,088
"Do you wish to give up
the right to remain silent?
132
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,090
"Do you wish to give up the
right to speak to an attorney
133
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,492
"and have him present
during questioning?"
134
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:31,485
What are you talking
about? Attempted bribery?
135
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:32,951
You heard me. Book him.
136
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:35,482
Put your hands behind your back.
137
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:38,082
Bag everything in his
desk and bring it downtown.
138
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:46,289
Say, I don't suppose you could
tell me what this is all about, huh?
139
00:07:47,233 --> 00:07:48,701
I didn't think so.
140
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:56,719
Hey, what is this,
huh? What's going on?
141
00:07:56,743 --> 00:07:57,870
It doesn't concern you.
142
00:07:57,944 --> 00:08:00,024
What do you mean it doesn't
concern me? That's Morry.
143
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:08,753
Come on, man. You can't
do that. Hey, let him go, okay?
144
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:10,700
You save that for the ring, Poncho.
What do you mean, Poncho?
145
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:11,724
Jesus, don't!
146
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:14,584
Come on. Nelson. Here,
here, this is his coat.
147
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:17,058
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
148
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:20,361
It's all right.
149
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:25,270
Come on.
150
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:27,767
Man, I don't get it.
151
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,867
What'd they want
with Morry? Huh?
152
00:08:29,943 --> 00:08:33,471
Ah, beats me. Something
about bribing a federal official.
153
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:37,347
He said he was gonna do something,
but I didn't think he'd go that far.
154
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:39,376
What are you
talking about, Jesus?
155
00:08:39,452 --> 00:08:41,114
Pay off an immigration official
156
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,247
so Mama Aguilar won't
have to go back to Mexico.
157
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:44,552
Who's Mama Aguilar?
158
00:08:44,624 --> 00:08:46,149
My wife's grandmother.
159
00:08:46,226 --> 00:08:47,819
She's been here 38 years.
160
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:49,362
Illegally?
161
00:08:49,429 --> 00:08:50,624
What can they do to him?
162
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:52,256
About 15 years.
163
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:54,995
Fifteen years? I can't
let them do that to Morry.
164
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:58,200
Man, he's in jail for trying
to save an old lady's life.
165
00:08:59,105 --> 00:09:00,835
How hard is it to get
someone out on bail?
166
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:03,103
Oh, not too hard if you
know the mechanics.
167
00:09:04,778 --> 00:09:06,576
Hey, that's great, man.
168
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:07,705
No, Jesus...
169
00:09:07,781 --> 00:09:09,647
Morry's always saying
what a great guy you are.
170
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,241
Yeah, yeah. Jesus...
171
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:15,846
I took the liberty of
dropping by your bank, Morry,
172
00:09:15,922 --> 00:09:17,515
and picking up
two counter checks.
173
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:21,584
Now, the first one you can make
out for $2000 to your bail bondman.
174
00:09:21,661 --> 00:09:24,358
The next one you can make
out to me for my piece of Jesus.
175
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:25,990
Look, Jim, uh...
176
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:29,002
I appreciate your taking
the time to arrange bail,
177
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:30,628
but the truth of
the matter is, uh...
178
00:09:31,371 --> 00:09:33,033
Two grand's all I
got to my name.
179
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:35,234
If I pay you off, I
can't make bail.
180
00:09:35,308 --> 00:09:37,174
What did you do with
the investors' money?
181
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,404
I spent it.
182
00:09:38,478 --> 00:09:40,811
You think it's cheap to
bring a kid along these days?
183
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,748
There's more to it than gym fees
and sparring partners, you know.
184
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:46,309
I support that
boy and his family.
185
00:09:46,386 --> 00:09:49,788
And you won't find Jesus Hernandez
loading trucks between bouts either.
186
00:09:49,856 --> 00:09:52,849
No, sir. It takes
money, lots of money.
187
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:54,690
So does bribing
a federal official.
188
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:55,956
I didn't bribe anybody.
189
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:57,657
That's not the
way the feds see it.
190
00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:02,600
I checked it out with a
contact in the department.
191
00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:06,265
You supposedly sent a
high-ranking immigration official
192
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:10,140
$5,000 in cash, along with
a note saying that it was, uh,
193
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:13,408
thanks in advance for any
consideration he might show
194
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,346
in the Aguilar
deportation matter.
195
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:17,179
That's bull, that's
bull. Who's the official?
196
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:18,616
Ever hear of F.I. Blassette?
197
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:21,280
Yeah, he's the guy who
denied the final appeal.
198
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:23,516
No heart, you know.
The book's the book.
199
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:27,584
Mmm-hmm. The note also said there
would be another $5,000 forthcoming
200
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:31,358
along with a satisfactory
resolution of the matter.
201
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:34,333
And it was printed
on your typewriter,
202
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,596
from a legal pad on your desk,
203
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:39,298
and then placed in a
monogrammed envelope
204
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:41,568
just like the ones you
keep in your desk drawer.
205
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,303
No way, Jim, no way.
206
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:46,744
They also found an aborted first
draft of the note in your wastebasket.
207
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,840
As far as the FBI is concerned,
they got you dead bang, Morry.
208
00:10:49,916 --> 00:10:53,011
Jim, somebody's doctoring
my water. You got to believe me.
209
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:09,632
What is that?
210
00:11:09,702 --> 00:11:12,467
"You are hereby notified that
the State Boxing Commission
211
00:11:12,539 --> 00:11:14,440
"has suspended your
manager's license
212
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:18,274
"pending resolution of the federal
felony charges being brought against you.
213
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:22,304
"You are ordered to cease and desist
all boxing activity until further notice.
214
00:11:22,849 --> 00:11:25,341
"Bernard Caplan, California
State Boxing Commission."
215
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:26,545
Let me see that.
216
00:11:26,619 --> 00:11:27,678
This can't get out, Jim.
217
00:11:27,754 --> 00:11:30,451
It just can't. Investor
confidence will be shattered.
218
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,618
Well, this is one investor
whose confidence is devastated.
219
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,573
You got to find out who's
doing this to me, Jim.
220
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:38,462
If everybody wants their money
back, I'm ruined. You got to help me.
221
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,382
Morry, I'd like to help
you, but this is not
222
00:11:40,406 --> 00:11:42,195
the kind of case I
should get involved in.
223
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:43,479
Look, I'll make a
deal with you, huh?
224
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:46,132
I'll give you another
5% of Jesus Hernandez.
225
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:47,868
Another 5%? Yeah.
226
00:11:47,941 --> 00:11:49,705
Which should make
you a 10% owner
227
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:52,177
of the next light heavyweight
champ of the world.
228
00:11:52,245 --> 00:11:54,646
Any idea what 10%
of the current champ is,
229
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,841
if you could get it?
230
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:58,547
150,000 spendolas.
231
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:00,244
That buy your help?
232
00:12:01,487 --> 00:12:04,980
Well, I... I guess I could
look into it for a day or two.
233
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:07,527
Thanks, Jim... But...
But if I come up empty,
234
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:10,587
I want a guarantee that I'll be the
first investor to get his money back.
235
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:12,325
Deal? You got it, you got it.
236
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:13,866
Now, where you gonna start?
237
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:17,761
Oh, I guess with the guy
that said you bribed him.
238
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:26,677
Would you get that fixed?
239
00:12:37,023 --> 00:12:38,457
Yes, Mr. Brown?
240
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,516
My secretary said
something about an interview?
241
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:43,529
Uh, yes, I'm with Civil
Service Life and Times.
242
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:45,916
Great magazine. I was written
up in it last year, you know.
243
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:48,230
Yes, well, I'm doing
an article called
244
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:51,203
"Anatomy of a Bribe,"
and I'd like to, uh,
245
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:53,433
talk to you concerning the
Morris Hawthorne matter.
246
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:55,907
Ah, yes. Deplorable situation.
247
00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:59,844
Well, I'd like to get right to the
nuts and bolts of the bribe itself,
248
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:03,349
how the money arrived, when
exactly Hawthorne delivered it to you,
249
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:04,543
that sort of thing.
250
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:06,415
Well, he didn't
deliver it personally.
251
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,785
He probably figured
it would be too risky.
252
00:13:08,855 --> 00:13:11,290
No, he had a prizefighter
type drop it off.
253
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:13,189
Oh? What did he look like?
254
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:15,728
I didn't see him. He left the
envelope with my secretary.
255
00:13:16,396 --> 00:13:20,231
Well, how can you be sure
that, uh, Hawthorne is behind it?
256
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:22,360
Well, he's the only one
who expressed any interest
257
00:13:22,435 --> 00:13:24,700
in the Mexican
national in question.
258
00:13:24,771 --> 00:13:26,865
He's a constant
source of agitation
259
00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:30,103
and the last time he was here,
he was positively desperate.
260
00:13:30,176 --> 00:13:32,577
Besides that, the physical
evidence leaves no doubt.
261
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:36,173
Excuse me, sir, but that was Roland down
in the mailroom. The afternoon paper's in.
262
00:13:36,249 --> 00:13:37,376
And?
263
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,749
Your press conference
made page three.
264
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:41,344
There's even a picture of you.
265
00:13:41,421 --> 00:13:45,222
Yeah, does this press conference
have anything to do with Hawthorne?
266
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:46,623
You bet it did.
267
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:48,753
Look, bribery is running
rampant in our country
268
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:51,730
and I intend to make a graphic
example out of Hawthorne.
269
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:52,798
Ah.
270
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:58,801
Okay, okay, Charley, if you don't
have more faith in the kid than that,
271
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:00,601
then I don't want you
in his corner anyway.
272
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:04,140
No, I don't have
the cash right now.
273
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:07,210
You're gonna have to stand in line
with everybody else and then we'll see...
274
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:10,409
Charley?
275
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:15,215
Don't worry, kid.
276
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:17,819
It'll all come out in the wash.
277
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:20,355
Yeah, sure, Morry,
anything you say.
278
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,531
Who was that, Morry?
279
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:29,601
An investor?
280
00:14:29,669 --> 00:14:32,069
Yeah. They been calling ever
since the paper hit the streets.
281
00:14:32,105 --> 00:14:34,006
Don't even care when
I tell them I'm innocent.
282
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:35,284
They just want their money back.
283
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:38,608
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
I'm almost positive you're innocent.
284
00:14:38,678 --> 00:14:41,671
Only a fool would try to
bribe a gung ho fed like that.
285
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:43,512
Whatever else you are,
Morry, you're no fool.
286
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:44,607
How'd you do?
287
00:14:44,684 --> 00:14:50,988
Well, Blassette's secretary ID'd the guy
who delivered the money as 5'9", about 160,
288
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:53,856
kind of wild-eyed, a scruffly
beard. He's a black dude.
289
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:55,087
Sound familiar?
290
00:14:55,161 --> 00:14:56,789
Could be anybody.
291
00:14:56,863 --> 00:14:59,958
Oh, he had a hole in his ear
for an earring, but no earring.
292
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:01,432
That might be Tony Malavida.
293
00:15:01,501 --> 00:15:03,197
Oh, no, he doesn't
have the brains.
294
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:06,433
How much brains does it take to
deliver an envelope? Who is he?
295
00:15:06,506 --> 00:15:09,203
Some punk I used to
hire for a sparring partner.
296
00:15:09,275 --> 00:15:12,006
You know, five bucks
a round, free iodine.
297
00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:15,139
Morry cut him loose when
he found out he was a junkie.
298
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:17,177
Yeah, well, if I can
get a line on him,
299
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,116
maybe I can find
out who's behind this.
300
00:15:19,185 --> 00:15:20,949
Any idea where he
might be these days?
301
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:24,354
Last I heard, he was, uh, buffing
cars somewhere downtown.
302
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:32,365
Tony Malavida?
303
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:35,095
Yeah, Norm Solomon, State
Attorney General's Office.
304
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:36,762
What do you want?
305
00:15:36,836 --> 00:15:38,361
Where's that S.I.T. unit?
306
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:40,799
S.I.T. unit?
307
00:15:40,873 --> 00:15:44,071
Special Interrogation Team.
They ought to be here by now.
308
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:47,103
Well, I might as well get
309
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,214
the preliminary info.
310
00:15:49,982 --> 00:15:52,850
Now, when did Hawthorne
first approach you
311
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,218
to deliver the bribe
to F.I. Blassette?
312
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,088
I don't know what
you're talking about.
313
00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:02,094
Of course you do. Let's not waste
our time arguing about it, okay?
314
00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:04,653
You were picked
out of the mug shots,
315
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:07,495
so if you really cooperate,
there's a slight chance
316
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,229
that you won't have
to take the full rap.
317
00:16:11,704 --> 00:16:13,195
I ain't saying nothing.
318
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:17,706
Suit yourself. I'll have to mark
down that you were uncooperative.
319
00:16:23,049 --> 00:16:26,713
Look, I'm going to have to call in, find
out what happened to that S.I.T. unit.
320
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,216
Malavida, you stay put.
321
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:32,781
If you leave this lot, you'll
be in violation of Section 814,
322
00:16:32,859 --> 00:16:37,490
title 20, subparagraph
6 and 5. You got that?
323
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:05,677
I know I have seen that guy in
that silver Caddy someplace before,
324
00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:07,179
I just can't place him.
325
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:09,412
I couldn't see the
plates on the car.
326
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,007
I don't think it
was carrying any.
327
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:14,349
It doesn't matter anyway.
You know, I called Blassette.
328
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:16,116
He's gonna have
Malavida picked up.
329
00:19:16,188 --> 00:19:19,750
If that secretary identifies him as
the guy who delivered the money, well,
330
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:22,488
it's a snap to sweat
the truth out of a junkie.
331
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:23,961
So you're almost off the hook.
332
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,760
Hey, great, Jim, just great.
333
00:19:26,766 --> 00:19:28,234
Hey, Morry? Yeah?
334
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,700
Morry, you seen this?
335
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:31,499
Yeah, yeah, I'm busy,
huh? Not now, kid.
336
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:34,369
Morry, everybody in the gym's
talking about the ad, huh? What gives?
337
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,772
What does the ad say, Jesus?
338
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:37,986
Nothing that concerns you,
Jim. It's just an internal thing.
339
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,421
And you, get back
out on the bag, huh?
340
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:42,074
And stop popping in here
every time you run out of breath!
341
00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:59,327
"The owners of Light Heavyweight
Jesus Hernandez, I will buy your shares.
342
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:03,301
"The Rio Room, the
International Inn, at 3:00 p.m.
343
00:20:03,369 --> 00:20:04,701
"This may be your last chance."
344
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:05,794
What's the matter, Morry?
345
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:09,171
I don't have a financial interest
in Jesus Hernandez, is that it?
346
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:10,539
No, no, sure you have.
347
00:20:10,609 --> 00:20:13,155
Anybody who really believes in the
kid is not going to attend that rip-off.
348
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:16,115
I know, 'cause I called most of
the investors. Not one's going.
349
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:19,712
You're not going
either, are you, Jim?
350
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:22,044
Who put this ad in here, Morry?
351
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:24,955
How do I know? Bunch of
nervous old ladies, I don't know.
352
00:20:25,491 --> 00:20:28,757
Yeah, well, whatever, it
may be the best offer we get.
353
00:20:29,762 --> 00:20:31,560
I ought to check it out anyway.
354
00:20:31,630 --> 00:20:34,657
Whoever's trying to capitalize on your
troubles may've had a hand in them.
355
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,894
I've had my piece of
this kid for three years...
356
00:20:39,538 --> 00:20:40,597
Remain calm, please.
357
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:42,039
Where is Hawthorne?
358
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:45,510
Can I have your
attention, please? Please?
359
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:48,378
Uh, I'm sorry, maybe
I'm in the wrong place.
360
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:50,245
Do you own a piece
of Jesus Hernandez?
361
00:20:51,150 --> 00:20:52,345
I'm in the right place.
362
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:55,484
How much do you
own? Five percent.
363
00:20:56,622 --> 00:20:58,250
You heard the man, Don.
364
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:10,896
Morry sold 195% of Jesus?
365
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:12,495
You got it.
366
00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:16,770
Your 5% is now worth 2.5641%.
367
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:18,934
You've been cheated, mister.
368
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:20,555
And there's only one
way you're gonna get even
369
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,571
a small piece of your
original investment back.
370
00:21:22,648 --> 00:21:25,516
Yeah, but twenty cents on the
dollar? Come on, that ain't much.
371
00:21:26,986 --> 00:21:30,388
Listen, you people. Hey,
listen you people. Wait a minute.
372
00:21:30,456 --> 00:21:32,891
Hawthorne's washed up.
I'm telling you, he's finished.
373
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,120
Now, I'm your last chance.
You can take it or leave it.
374
00:21:35,761 --> 00:21:37,889
My husband is gonna
pass out the releases.
375
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:41,833
Come on, Don, try to
stay with me, huh, babe?
376
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:43,529
Pass out the forms.
377
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:46,971
You may be leaning
on this a little strong.
378
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:50,601
I mean, Morry isn't convicted, and there's
a very good chance that he won't be.
379
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:52,042
He's being framed.
380
00:21:52,111 --> 00:21:53,911
Well, all I know is what
I read in the papers.
381
00:21:53,946 --> 00:21:57,815
Yeah, well, maybe you should, uh,
check tomorrow morning's edition.
382
00:21:57,883 --> 00:22:00,751
The feds are making a move on
one of the conspirators right now.
383
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:02,254
His name is Tony Malavida.
384
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,588
You people, you people.
385
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:09,458
I'm doing you a big
favor, believe me.
386
00:22:09,528 --> 00:22:13,624
Well, there's only two reasons why
I'm not willing to sell my piece just yet.
387
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:17,602
You know, Jesus Hernandez
won all 28 of his amateur fights,
388
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:21,004
he's won 10 straight since
turning pro and 7 by knockout...
389
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:23,008
I know his stats.
390
00:22:23,075 --> 00:22:25,374
And I know that Morry
is getting a fast count,
391
00:22:25,444 --> 00:22:28,778
and it just might be because
somebody wants to buy Jesus.
392
00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:30,675
Oh.
393
00:22:31,884 --> 00:22:33,819
Am I being accused
of something here?
394
00:22:33,886 --> 00:22:35,912
No. No, Morry is.
395
00:22:36,589 --> 00:22:40,253
But it only makes sense that,
uh, whoever framed him might use
396
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:44,127
Morry's troubles as leverage to buy
up all the Jesus Hernandez action.
397
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,825
Have you, uh, had
any other offers today?
398
00:22:48,334 --> 00:22:51,429
Well, I am being accused of
something and I resent it, mister.
399
00:22:51,503 --> 00:22:55,440
The simple fact of the matter is that kid
has been grossly mismanaged from the start.
400
00:22:55,507 --> 00:22:57,703
I am the best thing that
could ever happen to him.
401
00:22:58,210 --> 00:23:01,305
I can get him fights, I
can get him TV exposure,
402
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:03,679
I can get him five-figure
purses within one year.
403
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:06,218
Maybe, but I think
I'll hold on to my piece
404
00:23:06,285 --> 00:23:08,447
till I see how this whole
thing comes out, huh?
405
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,888
He can't get a bankruptcy
judgment for 15 days.
406
00:23:11,957 --> 00:23:14,085
But he burnt you, too. How
can you stick up for him?
407
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:18,426
I agree. To forgive is divine,
but not in Mr. Hawthorne's case.
408
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:19,863
All right, fine, Father,
409
00:23:19,932 --> 00:23:21,833
maybe we should
all file a complaint,
410
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:23,563
but give it a couple days, huh?
411
00:23:23,636 --> 00:23:26,697
It's not going to make any
difference in the price of Jesus.
412
00:23:28,274 --> 00:23:30,470
Except, of course,
my offer won't be there.
413
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:32,977
Aw, come on, as bad
as you want this thing?
414
00:23:33,045 --> 00:23:36,675
No, I figure that's a minimum
offer. The price will go up.
415
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:37,978
Yeah, I agree.
416
00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:43,788
What are you people doing?
417
00:23:43,856 --> 00:23:47,793
What are you people doing? You gonna
listen to that guy? He owns a lousy 5%.
418
00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:51,058
I own eight fighters in this town.
I know what I'm talking about.
419
00:23:52,131 --> 00:23:53,642
You're gonna regret
this, you really are,
420
00:23:53,666 --> 00:23:55,328
you're gonna be
left out with nothing.
421
00:23:59,705 --> 00:24:01,640
Mama's time is running out.
422
00:24:01,707 --> 00:24:03,608
They're going to kick
her across the border
423
00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:06,407
like some old dog nobody wants.
424
00:24:06,478 --> 00:24:08,447
Hey, Lucy, come on, huh?
425
00:24:08,514 --> 00:24:11,780
Worse comes to worst, I'll stash her
at my sister's place out in El Monte.
426
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,052
Hey, remember, I'm not here.
427
00:24:23,662 --> 00:24:26,291
I know Morry's here. I
saw his car down the block.
428
00:24:26,365 --> 00:24:27,799
Yeah, sure, he's here.
429
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:29,164
I want to see him.
430
00:24:30,602 --> 00:24:32,366
Morry, could I talk
to you in the kitchen?
431
00:24:32,438 --> 00:24:34,771
Now, Jesus, this is
between me and Morry.
432
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,809
Mama Aguilar, Mrs.
Hernandez, how are you?
433
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:38,776
Hi, kids. Come on.
434
00:24:41,613 --> 00:24:43,138
How many investors
actually showed up?
435
00:24:43,215 --> 00:24:44,274
All of them.
436
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:46,583
And if I hadn't been
there, you'd have been
437
00:24:46,607 --> 00:24:48,811
stripped of Jesus
and on your way to jail.
438
00:24:48,887 --> 00:24:51,015
Hey, wait, Jim, I didn't
do anything illegal, honest.
439
00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:53,746
Morry, I'd be interested
to hear how selling
440
00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:56,085
almost 200% of
anything isn't illegal.
441
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:59,427
Well, for openers, no investor's
allowed to own a piece of a fighter.
442
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:01,433
What they own is a piece
of the manager's piece.
443
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,968
Already I don't like it.
444
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:06,301
You see, a manager's allowed
to only own 33 and a third percent,
445
00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:09,137
some of which he usually
sells off to get things rolling.
446
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:13,407
In my case, I sold 50% of my
piece, which became 100%.
447
00:25:13,479 --> 00:25:14,742
You got in then.
448
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:17,009
And then when I couldn't
get decent purses for the kid,
449
00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:21,713
we went broke, so I had to sell my
other 50%, which became another 100%.
450
00:25:21,787 --> 00:25:23,915
Simple. And all legal.
451
00:25:23,989 --> 00:25:26,652
Legal? I hope you don't
mind if I get a second opinion.
452
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:28,125
You own more of
the kid than I do!
453
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:30,128
I only got 5% of the
second hundred left,
454
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:31,891
which I promised to
you if you clear me.
455
00:25:31,964 --> 00:25:34,490
Gee, Morry, you may have
to sell off another 100%.
456
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:36,266
And I'm sorry.
457
00:25:36,335 --> 00:25:38,736
I'm sorry if you think I was
trying to cheat somebody.
458
00:25:38,971 --> 00:25:42,169
I mean, what I did, I did for a
great cause. I mean, a great cause.
459
00:25:43,075 --> 00:25:44,373
Funny.
460
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:46,537
All my life, I
wanted the right kid.
461
00:25:47,312 --> 00:25:49,804
Now I got him, I can't
seem to do a thing with him.
462
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:54,978
Hey. What?
463
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,721
We'd like to see
Mr. Hawthorne, please.
464
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:02,987
Oh, boy, when the locals
and the feds team up, look out.
465
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,655
Mr. Hawthorne? Yeah?
466
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:06,007
Would you like to
go downtown with us?
467
00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:07,055
What for this time?
468
00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:10,252
We just want to have a little chat in
connection with a homicide investigation.
469
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:11,962
Who died?
470
00:26:12,037 --> 00:26:13,335
Tony Malavida.
471
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,704
We found him in the bay
with a bullet in his back.
472
00:26:19,211 --> 00:26:22,375
Your implication in the
murder of a material witness,
473
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:25,350
a man who would most likely
have testified against you,
474
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:27,409
is going to make
the morning papers.
475
00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:29,683
This is long overdue.
476
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:34,317
"The California Boxing
Commission regrets
477
00:26:34,393 --> 00:26:37,192
"Mr. Hawthorne's
involvement in this seamy affair
478
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:40,494
"and considers it an embarrassment
to boxing that will not be tolerated.
479
00:26:40,566 --> 00:26:45,971
"He is to sell all interest in
Jesus Hernandez within 48 hours.
480
00:26:46,038 --> 00:26:50,442
"If he doesn't, Hernandez, too, will
be barred from every arena in the state.
481
00:26:51,477 --> 00:26:54,140
"He is also hereby
notified to appear
482

"where his license will

484
00:26:59,852 --> 00:27:02,185
"for the good of boxing."
That about does it.
485
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:05,282
You believe this, Jim?
486
00:27:09,495 --> 00:27:12,090
Twenty-nine years I been
looking for the right kid.
487
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:14,790
Hard to find a good boy.
488
00:27:15,934 --> 00:27:17,425
Most of them don't
have the heart.
489
00:27:19,004 --> 00:27:20,563
Twenty-nine years.
490
00:27:21,507 --> 00:27:23,601
Not one year have
I made a living at it.
491
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:25,042
Yeah.
492
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,477
I've loaded trucks, tended bar.
493
00:27:28,514 --> 00:27:32,576
Right now, I got a job driving
forklift weekends at a warehouse.
494
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:36,613
I've supported some good
fighters in my day, Jim.
495
00:27:36,688 --> 00:27:37,951
What happened to them?
496
00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:39,616
They weren't hungry enough.
497
00:27:39,992 --> 00:27:44,054
You got to want it, Jim,
26 hours a day, like Jesus.
498
00:27:44,930 --> 00:27:47,627
It's a great sport,
but a rotten business.
499
00:27:48,667 --> 00:27:50,033
I love it, though, Jim.
500
00:27:51,103 --> 00:27:52,298
There's nothing...
501
00:27:53,438 --> 00:27:55,805
Nothing like working with a
kid who's willing to go for it.
502
00:27:59,211 --> 00:28:01,077
Well, you may be
against the ropes, Morry,
503
00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:03,513
but you're not down
and out, not yet.
504
00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:05,141
You still got 48 hours.
505
00:28:06,385 --> 00:28:07,580
Thank you, Jim.
506
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:10,415
Here you go, pal,
the rest is for you.
507
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:17,792
Jim, I really wanna thank you for working
my corner during that investors' meeting.
508
00:28:17,863 --> 00:28:19,161
Oh, hey,
509
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:21,009
thank you, Morry. I'll see
you in the morning, huh?
510
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:22,626
After the hearing.
Okay. All right.
511
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:33,637
Jesus.
512
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,544
Morry, hey, you okay?
513
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:56,862
Oh, boy, nothing like ringing
doorbells at 4:00 in the morning.
514
00:29:07,512 --> 00:29:08,741
Okay.
515
00:29:09,214 --> 00:29:11,410
Hey, now, come
on, fellas, come on.
516
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:13,461
I know it looks like I was
messing with your wheels...
517
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:16,512
You're making some
very nice people very mad.
518
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:18,900
And this here is just a sample
of what's going to happen to you
519
00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:21,894
if you don't get your nose out
of the Morry Hawthorne thing.
520
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,223
Choo-Choo,
521
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:26,094
give Mr. Rockford here
another small sample.
522
00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:56,653
Lousy feds.
523
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:59,095
Come in here the other
day and took everything.
524
00:30:00,065 --> 00:30:03,001
Even my old .32 I stashed
away in the bottom drawer.
525
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:06,839
Now how am I gonna
blow my brains out?
526
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:09,906
Hey. Hey, come on, Morry.
527
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:14,007
You heard. You heard Caplan.
You heard the Commissioner.
528
00:30:15,113 --> 00:30:17,105
"For the good of boxing."
529
00:30:17,949 --> 00:30:19,918
He must have said it ten times.
530
00:30:24,423 --> 00:30:25,423
Come in.
531
00:30:27,259 --> 00:30:28,420
Hello, Hawthorne.
532
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:30,954
Well,
533
00:30:31,897 --> 00:30:33,866
I figured you'd be dropping by.
534
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:36,163
Hi there, Jesus,
good to see you again.
535
00:30:36,234 --> 00:30:37,327
Hi, Miss White.
536
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:39,947
Well, I heard what took
place at the hearing.
537
00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,531
I know you've got till midnight
tomorrow to sell your contract.
538
00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:45,677
So I want to be the first
to make an offer on Jesus.
539
00:30:45,744 --> 00:30:48,976
You're a little late. We've
already had three offers.
540
00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:50,538
Oh.
541
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:51,981
Not like mine, you haven't.
542
00:30:52,384 --> 00:30:55,377
Your contract's in hock to
investors to the tune of 50 grand.
543
00:30:55,454 --> 00:30:57,821
I figure about the only way
you're going to stay out of jail
544
00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:59,790
is to pay them 100
cents on the dollar.
545
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,349
Oh, yeah?
546
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:05,193
Nobody's gonna pay 50 g's on a light
heavyweight with only ten pro fights.
547
00:31:05,263 --> 00:31:06,629
I will.
548
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:07,722
Right now.
549
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,131
What?
550
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:12,228
Yesterday I heard you were trying
to get him for 20 cents on the dollar.
551
00:31:12,304 --> 00:31:13,932
Today, top buck?
552
00:31:14,005 --> 00:31:16,702
Yesterday there were too many
people. Today, it's just you and me.
553
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:19,402
I want to make the deal now,
554
00:31:19,478 --> 00:31:21,037
and if you're smart, so do you.
555
00:31:22,914 --> 00:31:24,280
Give me the contract, Don.
556
00:31:25,417 --> 00:31:26,976
Come on, Don.
557
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:28,810
Uh...
558
00:31:28,887 --> 00:31:29,980
I don't know.
559
00:31:30,055 --> 00:31:32,286
Face it, Jesus is
a beautiful fighter.
560
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:34,451
I can give him
everything you can't.
561
00:31:39,598 --> 00:31:40,598
Oh.
562
00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:43,592
Well, I hope I'm
disturbing something
563
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:45,261
because I'm very disturbed.
564
00:31:45,337 --> 00:31:46,828
Perfect. I might have known.
565
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:49,272
Hey, when did you
walk into the right cross?
566
00:31:49,341 --> 00:31:50,775
That was last night.
567
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:53,068
The only name I
got was Choo-Choo.
568
00:31:53,145 --> 00:31:54,340
Does that sound familiar?
569
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,191
I don't have any idea
what you're talking about,
570
00:31:57,215 --> 00:32:00,014
but considering your MO, I'm
surprised you're not used to it by now.
571
00:32:00,085 --> 00:32:01,883
It seems I'm in someone's way.
572
00:32:01,953 --> 00:32:03,444
I can believe that.
573
00:32:03,889 --> 00:32:06,051
You sure as hell are
always getting in mine.
574
00:32:06,124 --> 00:32:07,456
What's she selling now?
575
00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:08,653
A great deal.
576
00:32:08,727 --> 00:32:10,505
The kid and me haven't
talked it over yet, but...
577
00:32:10,529 --> 00:32:12,293
Yeah, well, don't.
578
00:32:12,364 --> 00:32:14,856
You still got till tomorrow
night. The price can only go up.
579
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:15,957
Rockford, would you...
580
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:18,012
Yeah, he's right, he's
right. I need time to think.
581
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:20,631
I'll, uh... I'll let you
know tomorrow.
582
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:23,632
You know, Jesus,
one week from tonight,
583
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:25,734
you could be fighting
a semi-main on TV.
584
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:28,508
If I were you, I'd
talk to your manager.
585
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:31,040
Remember, he works for you.
586
00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:36,415
I'm sorry, ma'am,
587
00:32:36,488 --> 00:32:39,947
but if it weren't for Morry, you
wouldn't even be looking at me right now.
588
00:32:40,025 --> 00:32:42,494
That's my main man.
I do what he says.
589
00:32:46,364 --> 00:32:47,491
Suit yourself.
590
00:32:52,003 --> 00:32:55,098
I want to talk to you, Rockford.
- 00 sharp, Peppy's.
591
00:33:06,218 --> 00:33:07,584
See, it's very simple.
592
00:33:08,587 --> 00:33:13,218
$5000 for your
lousy little 2.5641%,
593
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:15,590
and then you just crawl
back in the woodwork.
594
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:19,161
First muscle and then
money. What's next, huh?
595
00:33:19,231 --> 00:33:21,496
The same option
Tony Malavida got?
596
00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:26,498
You know, your strange little
ideas are starting to get in my way.
597
00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:29,370
And I would like to dispel them
so I can get on with my business.
598
00:33:29,441 --> 00:33:33,105
Yeah, well, let me tell you how I got it
figured, huh? Then you can dispel away,
599
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:35,340
as long as you keep
Choo-Choo out of it.
600
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:39,716
You see, I think you got in over your
head because of one little mistake.
601
00:33:39,784 --> 00:33:43,915
Sending Malavida to deliver the money was
a nice touch, but you should've mailed it,
602
00:33:43,989 --> 00:33:46,549
that way you wouldn't have
had to kill him to keep the lid on it.
603
00:33:47,893 --> 00:33:48,917
Oh.
604
00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:53,762
I'm willing to go to a lot of trouble to
get Jesus, but not that much trouble.
605
00:33:53,832 --> 00:33:55,300
It's a cheap, simple frame,
606
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:57,859
a little snap of the
fingers gets Malavida iced.
607
00:33:57,936 --> 00:33:59,768
Doesn't seem like too
much trouble to me.
608
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:02,502
I don't believe
I'm hearing this.
609
00:34:02,574 --> 00:34:04,600
You got to be crazy.
What are you talking about?
610
00:34:04,676 --> 00:34:06,110
Me, kill somebody?
611
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:08,908
Oh, good old Right On Ruth,
huh? Wouldn't harm a soul,
612
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:11,848
just has fifteen lawyers to
handle the customer lawsuits.
613
00:34:12,584 --> 00:34:14,314
Now, I don't know you very well.
614
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:18,118
But I'm going to tell you where I'm
coming from straight, fair enough?
615
00:34:18,657 --> 00:34:21,821
Gee, Ruth, you sound just
like a used-car salesman.
616
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:23,759
I can't help it.
That's what I am.
617
00:34:23,828 --> 00:34:25,956
My daddy raised me
in a tarpaper shack
618
00:34:26,031 --> 00:34:28,660
on an eighteen-clunker lot
in the San Fernando Valley.
619
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:30,463
Honest Marv Beetson.
620
00:34:30,936 --> 00:34:31,936
Oh, yeah.
621
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:34,032
What a laugh.
622
00:34:34,105 --> 00:34:37,007
He was always half bombed.
He couldn't sell dimes to a beggar.
623
00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:40,045
He used to have me out there tap
dancing on the sidewalk to get people in.
624
00:34:40,111 --> 00:34:44,742
Honey, I was selling cars and making
loan applications when I was sixteen.
625
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:49,652
When I was eighteen, he had a
coronary demonstrating a used Edsel.
626
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:51,053
Left me everything.
627
00:34:51,690 --> 00:34:52,885
Which was nothing.
628
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:54,987
Nothing but headaches.
629
00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:57,359
But I dove in, I busted my buns
630
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,830
and I worked from 8:00 a.m.
to midnight, seven days a week,
631
00:34:59,898 --> 00:35:01,264
and that includes Christmas.
632
00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:03,461
I got myself some hot
pants and a cowboy hat
633
00:35:03,535 --> 00:35:05,902
and I kept right on dancing
out on that sidewalk.
634
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:07,667
Pretty soon I needed
an accountant.
635
00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:09,902
That's right.
636
00:35:10,508 --> 00:35:11,737
Enter Don White.
637
00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:16,470
Anyway, within three years, I
had my own acre in South Gate.
638
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:19,382
I mean, I had flags,
I had searchlights.
639
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:21,249
Yeah, what happened?
640
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:25,051
You and Don get to know too much
on each other and had to get married?
641
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:26,785
Seemed like a
good idea at the time.
642
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,692
Now it's convenient.
643
00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:32,659
He's a very capable comptroller.
644
00:35:32,731 --> 00:35:36,361
Yeah, but you keep treating
him like your accountant.
645
00:35:36,434 --> 00:35:38,596
But I'm gonna tell
you something, honey.
646
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:41,299
The used car business is
a man's game, and I beat it.
647
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:43,501
You don't say. Oh, but I do.
648
00:35:43,575 --> 00:35:45,237
And I'll tell you
something else.
649
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:48,971
If women woke up and stopped living
their lives on hold 'cause of some man,
650
00:35:49,047 --> 00:35:51,107
this would be a
whole new world, baby.
651
00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:53,361
Because you guys are all
trying to keep it a big secret.
652
00:35:53,385 --> 00:35:56,355
See, it's really easy, and your
game is to make it look hard.
653
00:35:58,056 --> 00:36:00,958
Just exactly when did
it start to get boring?
654
00:36:03,628 --> 00:36:05,096
About two years ago.
655
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:07,881
The only challenge
left for me is to come up
656
00:36:07,905 --> 00:36:09,959
with new ideas for the
commercials each week.
657
00:36:10,035 --> 00:36:12,004
And I don't need
to kill anybody.
658
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:15,666
I sure didn't have any hand in
framing Hawthorne, if he was framed,
659
00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:19,575
and I do send lawyers around
to beat people, not thugs.
660
00:36:20,779 --> 00:36:24,147
Well, it all sounds very plausible
since you can afford top dollar.
661
00:36:24,215 --> 00:36:26,047
All right, you see?
662
00:36:26,117 --> 00:36:30,418
But if you're not responsible
for Morry's predicament, who is?
663
00:36:30,488 --> 00:36:33,185
I mean, everything
seems to point right to you.
664
00:36:33,258 --> 00:36:36,126
Okay, that's it.
I've had it with you.
665
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,993
You can believe me, don't
believe me, I don't care.
666
00:36:39,064 --> 00:36:40,862
You just stay out of my way.
667
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:54,368
I'm declaring war.
668
00:36:55,113 --> 00:36:56,342
That's right, folks.
669
00:36:56,414 --> 00:36:58,508
War on every
dealer in this city.
670
00:36:58,583 --> 00:37:00,381
War on rip-offs and high prices.
671
00:37:00,452 --> 00:37:04,219
I'm sending my troops into
battle and only you can win.
672
00:37:04,289 --> 00:37:06,588
All right, boys, attention!
673
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:10,953
I want you to start
at rock bottom,
674
00:37:11,029 --> 00:37:12,224
and go down from there.
675
00:37:12,297 --> 00:37:14,129
I want you to get
ruthless with prices.
676
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,293
I mean, slash them to the bone.
677
00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:17,892
Your job is to move the cars,
678
00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:19,460
not waste the good folks' time.
679
00:37:19,537 --> 00:37:23,167
And if they want the wheels,
then you make the deals.
680
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:27,037
All right, Skip, the
boys have their orders.
681
00:37:27,112 --> 00:37:29,308
Now, it's up to you to
see that they deliver.
682
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:32,009
Folks, you all know Skip
LaForce, my sales manager.
683
00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:34,450
And he's here to make
the deal that you want.
684
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:37,011
Say a few words for our
Spanish-speaking friends.
685
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:45,729
That's the guy I saw
talking to Tony Malavida.
686
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:48,733
I knew I'd seen that
face someplace before.
687
00:37:50,034 --> 00:37:53,493
Well, there you have it,
folks, a parade of fine values.
688
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:55,233
No wonder you
couldn't place him.
689
00:37:55,306 --> 00:37:57,969
Who could look at men
when Ruth is doing her thing?
690
00:37:58,042 --> 00:38:00,876
I've got a deal that
is just right for you.
691
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:02,607
I knew it, Dennis, I knew it.
692
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,773
Knew what?
693
00:38:03,848 --> 00:38:06,750
I knew Ruth White was
tied into this thing somehow.
694
00:38:06,818 --> 00:38:09,083
I almost fell for
that act of hers, too.
695
00:38:09,154 --> 00:38:10,679
You can use my phone.
696
00:38:10,755 --> 00:38:11,755
What for?
697
00:38:11,823 --> 00:38:12,950
To have them arrested.
698
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:16,153
We usually like a shred of evidence
before we do something like that.
699
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:19,629
Besides, it's a fed case, and Homer
Nelson thinks that Morry's their man.
700
00:38:19,697 --> 00:38:20,960
No, it's out of my hands.
701
00:38:21,032 --> 00:38:24,969
Oh, great. At least you could run a
make on this Skip LaForce for me.
702
00:38:25,036 --> 00:38:27,916
Since I got to be doing it myself,
I'd like to know who I'm dealing with.
703
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,571
Nick Williams, line 2.
Nick Williams, line 2.
704
00:38:35,613 --> 00:38:36,672
Come in.
705
00:38:37,515 --> 00:38:39,484
I'm looking for
Mr. Skip LaForce.
706
00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:41,613
You found him.
707
00:38:41,686 --> 00:38:42,949
Yeah, my name is Rogers.
708
00:38:43,021 --> 00:38:45,684
I'm answering your ad
for dynamic salesmen.
709
00:38:46,191 --> 00:38:47,557
Where'd you work last?
710
00:38:47,625 --> 00:38:49,491
Wheels City, Dallas.
711
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:51,105
Image is important
here in the L.A. area.
712
00:38:51,129 --> 00:38:53,894
We don't let just anybody wear
the coveted red blazer, you know.
713
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:59,369
Oh, well, now, come on, you
have, uh, sold siding and books,
714
00:38:59,437 --> 00:39:02,236
even a little real estate
till they lifted your license.
715
00:39:02,307 --> 00:39:06,074
And then there was that
consumer fraud beef back in '72.
716
00:39:06,144 --> 00:39:09,637
That was just before you bankrupted
that dealership in San Diego.
717
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:12,582
So let's can that
"coveted red blazer" stuff
718
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:14,812
and get down to business,
huh, Skip, old buddy?
719
00:39:14,886 --> 00:39:15,979
What do you want?
720
00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:17,454
A job, like I said.
721
00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:20,155
Yeah, that's quite some
lady you're working for, huh?
722
00:39:20,225 --> 00:39:23,093
The guys around the coffee machine
tell me she's got you all locked up.
723
00:39:23,428 --> 00:39:26,956
Hey, does she know
about your past?
724
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:28,556
I don't believe it.
725
00:39:28,633 --> 00:39:30,431
You're actually
trying to blackmail me.
726
00:39:30,501 --> 00:39:33,835
Don't waste your time. Ruth
wrote the book. Now hit the road.
727
00:39:33,905 --> 00:39:36,306
Oh, then she knows about
the three years you did
728
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:39,435
for embezzling that other
dealership in Fort Lauderdale?
729
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:41,479
Now, come on,
Skip, old buddy, I'm...
730
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:43,777
I'm not trying to be difficult.
731
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:45,843
Where'd you get
your information?
732
00:39:47,652 --> 00:39:49,096
Excuse me, Skipper, I
don't mean to interrupt,
733
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,865
but that station wagon
is ready and Choo-Choo
734
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:52,489
wants to run me over
to pick it up, okay?
735
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:54,116
Yeah, sure, get out of here.
736
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:58,759
That's him. Hey, Chooch!
737
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:03,633
That's Rockford.
738
00:40:03,701 --> 00:40:06,170
Oh, you're a cute one.
739
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:09,867
The frame, the murders, she
doesn't know anything about it, huh?
740
00:40:09,941 --> 00:40:12,240
What do you get
out of framing Morry?
741
00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:13,972
Just trying to help
a fine lady latch
742
00:40:14,045 --> 00:40:16,276
onto another amusement
for her enjoyment.
743
00:40:16,347 --> 00:40:17,679
Where's the pay-off?
744
00:40:19,284 --> 00:40:22,686
That's tonight, only you're not
even going to make it to sunset.
745
00:40:22,754 --> 00:40:24,655
I caught you
breaking into my safe,
746
00:40:24,722 --> 00:40:26,816
thought you had a
gun, had to kill you.
747
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:29,258
Now, that would be
bad publicity, wouldn't it?
748
00:40:29,327 --> 00:40:31,421
I mean, considering
your image and all.
749
00:40:31,496 --> 00:40:32,987
Now, I think...
750
00:40:38,036 --> 00:40:40,631
Hey, there's been a bad accident
in there. You better go check.
751
00:41:06,998 --> 00:41:08,022
Where's Morry?
752
00:41:08,099 --> 00:41:10,364
Uh, he went to the gym to
meet Mrs. Beetson-White. Why?
753
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:13,347
All right, look, I don't have time to
explain, but Morry's in deep trouble.
754
00:41:13,371 --> 00:41:14,532
How long ago did he leave?
755
00:41:14,605 --> 00:41:15,629
About ten minutes ago.
756
00:41:16,607 --> 00:41:18,473
Hey, Jim, Morry's
had a few belts.
757
00:41:18,843 --> 00:41:19,843
Relax.
758
00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:25,181
I'd rather put him up for
auction than sell him to you.
759
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:27,628
You're the one's been
throwing all the low blows, lady,
760
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:29,917
and I'd like to put you
down for the count!
761
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:31,854
Now, that would really
solve all your problems?
762
00:41:31,923 --> 00:41:33,118
Yeah, yeah!
763
00:41:33,191 --> 00:41:36,958
For heaven's sake. Come on,
Hawthorne, wise up. Wait a minute.
764
00:41:37,762 --> 00:41:41,324
I'll tell you what. If Rockford
is right and you are innocent,
765
00:41:41,399 --> 00:41:43,077
I'll use my clout with
the Boxing Commission.
766
00:41:43,101 --> 00:41:44,535
I'll get your
license reinstated.
767
00:41:44,602 --> 00:41:46,127
What kind of deal is that?
768
00:41:46,704 --> 00:41:49,003
I got my license, you got Jesus.
769
00:41:49,073 --> 00:41:52,009
So then you come to work
for me as Jesus' trainer.
770
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:53,100
What?
771
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:56,011
I'll pay you twenty thou a
year, plus 10% of the piece.
772
00:41:56,381 --> 00:41:58,213
We can take him
to the title together.
773
00:41:58,282 --> 00:42:00,444
But you always said
I mismanaged him.
774
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:02,646
As a manager, you do stink,
775
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:04,780
but you are one
hell of a trainer.
776
00:42:05,156 --> 00:42:07,318
Now, one look at
Jesus and I knew that.
777
00:42:28,046 --> 00:42:31,642
I know what you're saying,
but I don't understand.
778
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:34,242
Jim was so sure that you were
the one that set up the frame.
779
00:42:34,318 --> 00:42:36,310
Yeah, well, it's
supposed to look that way.
780
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:38,481
It's a frame within a frame.
781
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:40,991
I fell for it like I had
weights in my pocket.
782
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:44,325
If you don't mind, I am
trying to make a deal here.
783
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:46,364
She didn't frame me? No, no.
784
00:42:46,431 --> 00:42:48,662
Let's get out of here.
We can call the cops.
785
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:50,361
Hold it. Stay where you are.
786
00:42:54,439 --> 00:42:56,067
Skip? What is going on here?
787
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,904
What are you doing
with that? What's...
788
00:42:58,342 --> 00:43:00,277
Stay put or you buy it now.
789
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:01,607
Don't push it, ace.
790
00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:03,199
You're already
working on strike three.
791
00:43:04,882 --> 00:43:06,680
Tear it to bits, right there.
792
00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:09,177
What's going on?
793
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:10,597
They're staging a murder.
794
00:43:10,621 --> 00:43:12,647
You're gonna get set
up, Ruth, just like Morry.
795
00:43:12,723 --> 00:43:17,161
You were supposed to have come in here
and, uh, tried to buy a piece of Jesus,
796
00:43:17,228 --> 00:43:18,355
but you end up dead.
797
00:43:18,930 --> 00:43:20,592
Morry killed you
for framing him.
798
00:43:20,665 --> 00:43:22,657
What the hell can you
possibly get out of this?
799
00:43:22,733 --> 00:43:25,532
A lot of pleasure shutting
your big mouth, for one thing.
800
00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:27,834
Chooch, keep them right there.
801
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:30,431
Hey, Jim, that's my .32!
I thought the feds had it.
802
00:43:30,508 --> 00:43:33,706
No, no, no. This whole thing
was just a plot to kill Ruth.
803
00:43:33,778 --> 00:43:36,179
Once you're dead and
blamed, the case is closed.
804
00:43:36,247 --> 00:43:38,944
Oh, yeah? How are you gonna
explain me being dead, huh?
805
00:43:39,016 --> 00:43:41,485
What, I shot her and
committed suicide?
806
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,719
What do you wanna bet that's
where good old Don White comes in?
807
00:43:45,790 --> 00:43:47,468
I don't believe that.
I don't believe that.
808
00:43:47,492 --> 00:43:49,154
Don couldn't be part of this.
809
00:43:49,227 --> 00:43:54,188
Yeah, good old "kick him in the butt, snap
your fingers and he comes running" Don.
810
00:43:54,265 --> 00:43:55,995
I pop you and we
split the business.
811
00:43:56,067 --> 00:43:58,400
We've been waiting for this
opportunity for a long time.
812
00:43:59,737 --> 00:44:02,229
He fires at Don as he
comes through the door.
813
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,069
Don had no choice.
814
00:44:04,709 --> 00:44:05,972
He killed you in self-defense.
815
00:44:06,043 --> 00:44:09,036
You do the killing and
Don sticks around to testify.
816
00:44:10,014 --> 00:44:11,744
You do have it figured,
don't you, Rockford?
817
00:44:12,717 --> 00:44:14,743
Okay, Rolly, check the street.
818
00:44:25,730 --> 00:44:28,810
Hey, hold it, there's a bunch of marines
going by. It'll be clear in a second.
819
00:44:35,406 --> 00:44:37,170
LaForce, you're too much.
820
00:44:37,241 --> 00:44:39,403
You think I just walked
into this whole thing, huh?
821
00:44:39,477 --> 00:44:40,843
I called the cops.
822
00:44:40,912 --> 00:44:43,177
They're going to be
rolling in here any minute.
823
00:44:43,247 --> 00:44:44,715
Come on, Rockford,
824
00:44:44,782 --> 00:44:46,876
you don't really think I
don't watch the late show?
825
00:44:53,291 --> 00:44:55,624
Skip, Skip, please.
826
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:58,219
I mean, for God's sakes,
please, I'm begging you, please.
827
00:44:58,296 --> 00:45:01,357
Aw, don't punk out on me, Ruth.
828
00:45:01,966 --> 00:45:05,130
You're a liberated lady,
so die like a man, huh?
829
00:45:15,813 --> 00:45:16,872
Freeze!
830
00:45:30,928 --> 00:45:32,988
Skip, what took so long?
831
00:45:33,698 --> 00:45:36,759
Skip? Thank God it's over.
832
00:45:36,834 --> 00:45:39,804
Yeah, Don, thank God it's over.
833
00:45:44,875 --> 00:45:46,901
The Boxing Commission
deeply regrets
834
00:45:46,978 --> 00:45:50,005
that it was used in
the plot to disgrace
835
00:45:50,081 --> 00:45:52,607
a fine fight manager,
Morry Hawthorne.
836
00:45:53,451 --> 00:45:56,148
We have extended him
our sincerest apologies
837
00:45:56,220 --> 00:46:00,021
by unanimously voting
to reinstate his license.
838
00:46:01,092 --> 00:46:04,961
As to the matter of the accounting
discrepancy among the Hernandez investors,
839
00:46:05,029 --> 00:46:08,158
Mrs. White has agreed to
make full and fair restitution
840
00:46:08,232 --> 00:46:11,794
to all involved as a part of
her purchase of Hernandez.
841
00:46:11,869 --> 00:46:15,636
However, the original
investors must all sell
842
00:46:16,741 --> 00:46:18,505
before the new
agreement can be ratified.
843
00:46:18,576 --> 00:46:20,374
Come on, now, wait a minute.
844
00:46:20,444 --> 00:46:22,003
What if I don't want to sell?
845
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:23,911
I don't think you've
got much choice.
846
00:46:23,981 --> 00:46:26,974
Otherwise, Morry could
be liable for criminal charges
847
00:46:27,051 --> 00:46:29,043
and Jesus might be
sold on an auction block,
848
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:30,816
in which case you'd get nothing.
849
00:46:31,522 --> 00:46:34,492
Don't worry, Jim, I ain't forgotten
what you did for the kid and me.
850
00:46:34,558 --> 00:46:37,494
And I got it all worked
out so you get a full 5%.
851
00:46:37,561 --> 00:46:38,654
Of what?
852
00:46:38,729 --> 00:46:40,630
Of my 10% of Jesus.
853
00:46:40,698 --> 00:46:43,759
You mean your 10% of
Ruth's 33%, don't you, Morry?
854
00:46:43,834 --> 00:46:45,530
Hey, Jim, did I tell you?
855
00:46:45,603 --> 00:46:47,936
Mama Aguilar gets to
stay in this country, huh?
856
00:46:48,005 --> 00:46:49,303
Don't change the subject, Morry.
857
00:46:49,373 --> 00:46:51,399
Don't worry, Jim,
it's gonna work out.
858
00:46:51,475 --> 00:46:55,105
But first, I got to get my boy
ready for Bobo Rydell on TV.
859
00:46:55,179 --> 00:46:56,579
Come on, Jesus.
860
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,582
Hey, Jesus, what
do you say, hot shot?
861
00:46:58,649 --> 00:46:59,844
How's next month sound?
862
00:46:59,917 --> 00:47:01,579
You mean that? Uh-huh.
863
00:47:02,086 --> 00:47:04,749
Boy, that's just what
I've been waiting for.
864
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:08,156
Folks, you're looking at the next
light heavyweight champ of the world!
865
00:47:11,162 --> 00:47:13,131
I told you to get
the thing fixed.
866
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:20,064
Jim? Yeah?
867
00:47:20,137 --> 00:47:21,628
Jim, listen.
868
00:47:22,173 --> 00:47:26,702
I know you didn't get the best
deal out of this, but I'll tell you what.
869
00:47:26,777 --> 00:47:29,906
If money's your problem, I
think I may have a solution.
870
00:47:29,980 --> 00:47:32,643
First, I want to thank
you for saving my life.
871
00:47:32,717 --> 00:47:34,515
And I have been racking my brain
872
00:47:34,585 --> 00:47:36,986
trying to come up with a
way to express my gratitude.
873
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:38,488
Yeah, well... And I finally did.
874
00:47:38,556 --> 00:47:40,684
You don't really have
to do anything, I mean...
875
00:47:40,758 --> 00:47:42,021
Oh, yes, I do.
876
00:47:42,093 --> 00:47:46,030
As you may know, I'm always
on the lookout for a good man.
877
00:47:46,097 --> 00:47:47,656
Yeah, I've heard it said.
878
00:47:47,732 --> 00:47:51,294
And now that I'm going to be devoting
full attention to the fight business,
879
00:47:51,902 --> 00:47:53,837
the dealer management
job is wide open.
880
00:47:53,904 --> 00:47:57,033
I bet you'd look
terrific in a red blazer.
881
00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:58,303
Not a chance.
882
00:47:58,376 --> 00:48:00,277
Baby, come on, think of it.
883
00:48:00,344 --> 00:48:03,678
You know, you could do the Spanish-speaking
commercial. You'd become a celebrity.
884
00:48:03,748 --> 00:48:06,274
Yeah, I'm sorry,
but I don't tap dance.
885
00:48:07,184 --> 00:48:08,880
At least have
dinner with me, huh?
886
00:48:08,953 --> 00:48:10,319
We could go to my place.
887
00:48:11,155 --> 00:48:13,681
Well, I'm sorry,
Ruth, but I'm, uh...
888
00:48:13,758 --> 00:48:16,250
I'm a little old-fashioned,
you know, I...
889
00:48:17,061 --> 00:48:22,193
I like to open the doors and light
the cigarettes and make the passes.
890
00:48:22,266 --> 00:48:23,598
Oh, you're right.
891
00:48:24,301 --> 00:48:25,428
I'm sorry.
892
00:48:25,503 --> 00:48:27,062
There I go again.
I'm sorry, really.
893
00:48:27,138 --> 00:48:28,504
Oh, that's okay.
894
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:31,174
We'll go to your place.
